    FL6, maybe? Recently I purchase this online for $270 which included postage and the time for the seller to post it.
    It’s missing components as you will see.
    The complete plunger is missing.
    The burner is also missing along with the vapouriser.
    I’m now eagerly chasing the missing components and I will require plunger gasket as it is much larger than the regular Tilley leather gaskets.

    It is a Tilley FL6.

    I have a washer/pump cup kit for it.

    I’ll look/ask around for the other bits.


    Cheers

    Hi Dale - It uses a standard 169 vapouriser and 191 mantles. Keep your fingers crossed for the other bits. Be very gentle with the refelctor as they don't like polish too much..

    Hi and thanks.
    I now have the guidance done of Martin who live nearby. Tony Press is also providing help. I will not make any brash moves unless I consult someone from here. I feel very privileged to come across this lamp.

    Hi Dale, if you haven’t already found the bits you need! I can help, I know Tony has got the seals sorted out for you, I will be happy to help and the postage shouldn’t be to bad as it’s only a padded envelope, let me know mate and I will work out a price.

    That would be fantastic. Please let me know a price and I’ll transfer the money as soon as possible. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate that. Thank you.
